The band have been especially busy these past few months, touring with Tweak Bird and announcing a split vinyl release with Fucked Up and Mudhoney.
The album pages homage to the musicians they are covering as Osborne states,
We REALLY like all of these songs along with the bands who actually wrote this stuff because first and foremost we are HUGE music fans.
